***Understanding of ALL of the underlined terms in this document is needed to succeed in this class. To further study these terms do one of the following:

Make flash cards of all terms Make a concept map of all terms (if you don’t know what this is look it up on Wikipedia) Write out definitions of all terms Or come up with your own way of studying these terms. Just make sure to ok it with me to make sure you’ll get your extra credit.

This must be turned in attached to this study guide at the time the study guide is due!!!! What’s working well and what’s a suggestion to help things work better?
